Il_napoletano Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Hi I recently purchased a 6970 and I've just found a problem with it.. When I use the top DVI port...I get blue line and artifacts on black or dark colors. On some pics it doesn't seem to affect it and then sometimes they disappear...but I want to run a second monitor now so I need the top DVI port. I've attached a few pic of the problem. also I've tried it on multiple monitors, dvi cables, and resolutions... Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 have you tried re-seating it or another driver? those pics look somewhat normal to me.... you talking about the Blue hue on the top of the tire on the bike picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il_napoletano Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) have you tried re-seating it or another driver? those pics look somewhat normal to me.... you talking about the Blue hue on the top of the tire on the bike picture? I've tried the drivers...I'll reseat it later on tonight when I have some free time... The picture with the gpu's is to show that the black has them blue lines on it but if I put a light picture on I don't get it... Then on a picture with a mix of colors I get that hue like in the bike one... Then on a few picture you don't get it..like the orange mercedes Edited February 27, 2013 by Il_napoletano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkakmanH Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 You would think that with gold plated contacts that reseating would not be necessary. But, alas, this is not so. The old pink pearl eraser trick was frequestly needed on early computers as most cards used silver contacts. Too bad it is still needed today.
